Aurora is not only found on planets and some moons, but now also on a comet. That reported the American space agency NASA Monday, after scientists study images taken by the Rosetta spacecraft.
It concerns the comet 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko (67P / CG). The comet has its own aurora borealis, the phenomenon caused by solar flares.
In violent solar winds, a stream of charged particles escapes from the surface of the sun. These electromagnetic particles can produce a red or blue glow when they reach the atmosphere of a celestial body.
It has already been seen that the light from the sun is deflected from 67P / CG. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the light was created by the solar particles reacting to the gas in the nebula around the core of the comet. The result is ultraviolet light beams that cannot be seen with the naked eye, but can be seen with specialized instruments.
This discovery could shed light on how solar winds affect space travel and protect satellites and spacecraft.
Aurora can also be seen on planets and moons
Aurora is not only found on our earth. Earlier it was discovered that Saturn, Uranus and Mars also know the phenomenon, just like Jupiter and even on some of its moons. It is the first time that the phenomenon has also been established on a comet.
On Earth, the Northern Lights and Southern Lights only occur at the poles, because the particles are guided to the poles by the Earth’s magnetic field.
67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko was Rosetta’s end goal. This space probe from the European space agency ESA was launched in 2004 and reached the comet in 2014.
The municipality of Jette not only requires teachers and students returning from an area classified as “red” to observe a quarantine of 14 days from their return to Belgium, but also those returning from an area classified as “orange”, indicate Sunday several media as well as the website of the Brussels municipality. The rule concerns all children in municipal education (French and Dutch speaking) in Jette.
By imposing on teachers and other staff members, as well as students, who have been in an orange and / or red classified area for at least 48 hours, for a period of 14 days or less before the start of school, to remain in quarantine for 14 days from the date of their return to Belgium, the municipality of Jette goes further than the authorities recommend and that which is done in other municipalities in the country.
The persons concerned are required to inform the school administration. In addition, if a student or staff member is awaiting the result of a covid test, they may not attend school before they have been confirmed that the test is negative and that they are not must not remain in quarantine, we read on the website of the municipality.
“It’s a way of reassuring everyone. Both the teaching staff and the students. But especially the teaching staff in relation to the children. We know that they get little sick but can still transmit the virus, ”the mayor of Jette, Hervé Doyen, told RTBF.
The mayor, however, does not expect the measure to affect many students because many people have already returned from vacation for several days.
(ANSA) – NEW YORK, AUGUST 29 – The UN Security Council unanimously approved a resolution extending the mandate of the United Nations mission in Lebanon (Unifil) until August 31, 2021.
The document provides for the reduction of the maximum number of troops from 15,000 to 13,000 (as requested by the US): a provision that does not require any cuts to the forces on the ground, currently about 10,250 soldiers. It also strengthens the monitoring mechanism in southern Lebanon.
A brutal femicide occurred in the southwest area of Rosario, where a woman who would be a sex worker was murdered after apparently having been abused.
According to the first information a woman was beaten and killed by a man, in Rueda at 5500. It was close to 3 in the morning. The first signs indicate that she was abused.

The assailant was described as a short man who was dressed in a gray hooded sweatshirt. When the police arrived at the scene, they found the body of the victim naked from the waist down. He had a skull injury. Next to it was the bloody concrete block.
(ANSA) – BERLIN, AUGUST 14 – Germany has included Spain among the areas at risk for Coronavirus. The Dpa writes it.
However, the Canary Islands are an exception, excluded from the tightening of measures for those returning from vacation. The decision means that those returning from holidays to the European country must undergo the test, and remain in quarantine until the result. (HANDLE).
Cloving hospital on the basis of the Medical Scientific and Educational Center (ISSC) Moscow State University named after M.V.Lomonosov took the first patients on April 21 and completed his work on June 13. It turned out that it was possible to achieve the best treatment results for COVID-19 in Moscow. Over the entire period, 4 patients died, and among severe patients who got mechanical ventilation, the mortality rate was less than 14% (for comparison, the average for the city and the world was up to 70 – 80%). Eighteen doctors out of 220 employees of the hospital were infected with coronavirus, there were no deaths among the medical staff.
What approaches were used at the University Hospital of Moscow State University to achieve such results? We continue the conversation with the head. Department of Therapy, Faculty of Fundamental Medicine, Moscow State University, Head of the Department of Age-Associated Diseases, Medical Scientific and Educational Center, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Cardiologist Yana Orlova.
MEDICINE FOR COUGH FOR 80 RUBLES
– Most of those who are ill or are afraid to get sick are worried about fibrotic changes in their lungs. They say that you have developed special therapy that can reduce the risk of developing fibrosis. Is it possible?!
– Yes, we launched an appropriate clinical study. There are no final results yet, but we have developed clinical practice.
“What did you do to save the lungs?”
– We used a combination of bromhexine and spironolactone (both are long-known very cheap drugs. – Ed.). Bromhexine is an expectorant that has been prescribed to patients with pneumonia and cough for many years. At the same time, experimental data showed that this drug can block a specific enzyme and impede the penetration of coronavirus into cells. True, it was on this effect that we counted to a lesser extent in inpatients, since such an effect is important mainly in the early stages of the disease. But the expectorant effect of bromhexine really helps patients with COVID. I heard that our colleagues in Peter launched a study of bromhexine for prophylactic purposes. We will wait for the results.

FIBROSIS OBSTACLE
– The second drug – spironolactone – is traditionally widely used in cardiology for the treatment of heart failure, severe hypertension. It has a small diuretic, magnesium and potassium-preserving effect, continues Yana. Orlova. – It has several mechanisms through which it can be useful in coronavirus infection.
Firstly, a mechanism that prevents the development of fibrosis in general in the body. There are works that, in particular, show that spironolactone reduces fibrosis in the heart. At the same time, it is known that the tendency to fibrosis is not local, but systemic – where there is more inflammation, there will certainly be fibrosis. And we see, of course, fibrotic changes in the “covide” in our patients. Therefore, we prescribed spironolactone as a drug for the prevention of this process.
Secondly, this drug blocks sex hormone receptors, in particular testosterone. Some published studies suggest that “high-testosterone” men suffer from “covid” more often and develop more severe fibrotic changes. Therefore, blocking these receptors for several weeks during COVID treatment may be useful in reducing the severity of complications. We are not talking about a longer intake, since male patients are unlikely to agree with a decrease in testosterone levels in the long term.
And perhaps the most important point. In almost all of our patients, we observed hypokalemia (a decrease in potassium levels. – Ed.). With coronavirus infection, potassium is intensely excreted from the body, and scientific articles even suggest that hypokalemia serves as the trigger for a cytokine storm. So spironolactone has a real chance to reduce the risk of this dangerous complication. But the main thing, in my opinion, is that lowering the level of potassium in the body is extremely harmful to the heart and triggers life-threatening rhythm disturbances, increasing the risk of sudden death. We, like all others, replenished potassium with droppers, but it was more effective to retain it in the body with the help of spironolactone.

WHEN PRESCRIBED PATIENTS
– Yana Arturovna, how many patients did you have on average?
– About 10 – 14 days. But someone and 50 days.
– Have you noticed signs by which it can be assumed that the disease in the person brought is likely to go the hard way?
– Such studies were carried out in the world, our clinical practice confirmed them. Men certainly get worse than women; the elderly are heavier than the young; overweight people are heavier than overweight patients. Men with a classic male type of baldness, a lot of facial hair, we can say brutal men get sick harder.
– Under what conditions did you discharge patients?
– We acted as close as possible to the recommendations Ministry of Health: so that the temperature for three days was not higher than 37.5 degrees; so that C-reactive protein (an indicator of inflammation) is lower than 10 mg / l, and saturation, that is, the level of oxygen in the blood, is higher than 96%.
“HEAD OF EPIDEMIOLOGY DEPARTMENT OF ITSELF WORKED AT SANPROPUSNIK”
– How often do you get sick doctors and nurses?
– In the first month no one got sick at all. We have a very powerful epidemiological service. The head of the sanitary-epidemiological department, a senior researcher, correctly organized the whole process, and for the first two weeks she personally worked in the sanitary inspection room at the exit from the “red zone” and helped doctors and nurses who were exhausted after the shift safely remove protective clothing.
Then both people’s fatigue and viral load accumulated. By the middle of the second month, sick people began to appear. There were no seriously ill patients. We treated part of the staff in our observation, part of it was treated at home. In total, 18 people were infected from the medical staff (less than 10%).
– Doctors take something for prevention? Vitamins C, D, Zinc?
– I saw the recommendations of American nutritionists, they speak out positively about taking zinc, melatonin and vitamin C. There were somewhat conflicting data on vitamin D. But we did not give any such recommendations to our employees. We have all the prevention was associated with minimizing contacts and other measures of epidemiological safety.

Frame with double exposure of Pedro Snchez during his speech in the plenary session held this Thursday in Congress.MarshalEFE
I was wishing I was wrong. I was wishing that from insidePedro Snchezthe pandemic would remove an unsuspected bit ofAdolfo Surez. And that on that little piece, for lack of greater stature, it could be built not some Pacts of La Moncloa, which are only the rhetorical indication thatIvn Redondohas changedThe west wingbyTell me, but at least a shared bill, an emergency legislation that better prepares Spain to survive the economic devastation it is about to experience.
But a crazy dog is not a loving bear nor can it be. Everything that Snchez has accomplished in his political life he owes to sectarianism. Resignation rather than abstaining fromRajoy, submission before magnanimity with Susanism, genuflection beforeTorrarather than breaking the sanitary cord on the right, the embrace of neo-communism before the approach to the center. And in these came the Covid-19. And I thought that where virtue did not drive him, the worst national tragedy since the Civil War could push him. And I sat down to watch the debate with a cloud of hope. As well. I know that 50,000 dead and seven million unemployed will not be enough to change Snchez either. Considering the intervention of that nephite in readings and professor in hatred of whichJavier Fernndezso justifiably ashamed today, we can already conclude that not only will we go to hell, but during the debacle all the energies of the Government will be concentrated on crushing the opposition.

The passion that we celebrate today will not last a week but months or years. It did not start in 2020 but the day we took the institutions for granted and declared respect for the adversary superfluous. We are exactly where our rulers have brought us, from the vengeful revisionism ofShoemakeruntil the cagataza cegata deRajoy. In this solar we can and his best plagiarist was crowned king of the civil war. He has not yet known how to make budgets but has removedFrankfrom his grave, today we know that out of envy. Its end will be inevitable, but by no means noble.
Espaoles: Calvary awaits you. And you don’t see the day of resurrection coming.
We are home, yes. But we have already realized that this is no reason to neglect the care of body and mind. Neither that of the skin, as experts warn: the radical change of environments, as well as the lack of natural light or the concern and lack of sleep that affects many during these days, can take its toll.
We don’t want that. But also, we do not want to miss the good opportunity that this time gives us to pamper us more than ever. So we add a new gadget of beauty to our facial ritual to improve it to the maximum. “Every few time new devices come onto the market with the aim of facilitating and improving our beauty routines.

I hide in the garage because they were watching me on the roof. After nap,AngelinaHe descends from his fourth floor in Cuatro Caminos to the basement where his second-hand Qashqai sleeps. The small 60-square-meter compound has replaced the gym. She clandestinely stretches muscle in confinement. The garage is a common area where exercise is prohibited, but I use it because it helps me to ward off the burden of this damn coronavirus. I go around like a fool, but that helps meDownload adrenaline. I have not been caught yet and I hope this continues, he maintains without remorse for his illegal conduct.
Down there every day, hiding, as if I were going to get some magazines from the storage room, I close the door discreetly so as not to be discovered and start walking fast. I walk without turning on the light,so as not to arouse the curiosity of the neighbors. I do it in the dark, taking advantage of the little light that comes in from the street. I put on the timer and don’t stop until an hour later. Walking in such a small place is uncomfortable and to avoid claustrophobia I have no choice but to abstract myself, he adds.
Angelina is arunningquarantine who flirts with what is prohibited: I know this is illegal, but I do not harm anyone, I do not touch anything in the garage, there is no risk of infecting or being infected. Despite feeling banned, the benefit I get, de-stressing, compensates me.
Javier, a veteran marathon runner, also ventures underground: I am ajunkiesports and since I have no treadmill or exercise bike, I have to find life. From the beginning of the running I went out for a couple of days to runlike a sneakand I had problems with the neighbors, who rebuked me from their homes, that’s why it occurred to me to use an interior area of the community, which nobody takes advantage of, to exercise. I start at 9:30 am and I always do the same circuit, going down the stairs from the seventh floor and down to the garage, which is large, with two floors. I even do series on a 50 meter straight. As I am for 45 minutes, this serves to create endorphins.
“Human ingenuity”
This athlete from the Chamartn area has assumed the surreptitious as a habit: Sometimes I think that when this confinement ends I will have Stockholm syndrome and continue running around here.
New guidelines generated by an unusual interior exile that require a visit to Divon. That recourse to the solitude and darkness of the garages to relieve tension shows that the ingenuity of the human being is immeasurable, says the psychiatristJess of the Gndara.
There are two types of individuals, those who seek solutions to problems and those who become alarmed or stuck. Those who do sports on the sly are startled, restless people, different from those who remain calm, afraid. Both behaviors are prototypical of the origin of humanity. There are animals that to confront the threats, to escape from the lion, remain mimetized on the ground, overwhelmed, and others who flee to carry out a tempest of movements, adds the Gndara.
Mikel Martnez, a sports medicine specialist, warns about the danger of this practice: Although some believe that they do not harm anyone, the truth is that when we do sportswe hyperventilateand we generate more saliva. We can not run with a mask, because we drown, and if we are asymptomatic carriers, the bug that we expel does not stay in the air, because it does not float, but falls on surfaces, on the ground, on the walls, in cars … therefore increases the concentration of risk. I understand that it is not something convenient, apart from the fact that we must all be exemplary andavoid picaresque.
This doctor points out that this new hidden custom is different from the activities organized by neighborhood communities in large venues and the open air: It does not seem counterproductive to me to use patios or open spaces for individual use and with distribution of schedules, never to use them in collective training.
Marcelino Torrontegui, masseuse of the Malaga football team, claims that physical exercise in times of confinement is basic: The situation is complicated, we have to look for alternatives because with what is happening we are going to be very touched mentally. That some resort to garages shows that inventive capacity can be very great. Of course it is not the right place to do sports, because psychologically it is veryfucking run in the darkindoors, but I understand that they do. We are like caged monkeys, I do not sleep until five in the morning. I have started to run, without moving, in front of the television, but in the end you break your twins.
Torrontegui assures that he has not yet seen his neighbors from Malaga invading common areas: Here not even El Tato comes down and that the houses are small, in the house we are four and we all do sports. Sometimes it seems that we are in a circus, because we do not all fit in the room and we have to relieve ourselves to exercise. There are fights to get on theexercise bike, here there are more nudges than in a stage of the Tour.
And it is that each one is relieved as he can. I don’t have the excuse to walk the dog, that’s why I get off walking to the garage. I know it’s illegitimate, but I don’t bother anyone, he exclaimsMiguel, a Madrid official who lives in the Pacific area. I do not see the end of the tunnel, meanwhile continue to avoid rows of cars in this hellish confinement, affects from his hidden retirement.
